Just call me Betty Crocker!

As of lately, I've been trying more and more to make home cooked meals. It definitely saves money and is healthier. My boyfriend loves to make meals in the crock pot because it is SO easy! Start it in the morning when I go to work and he goes to school and it's ready when we get home! Hardly any work and hardly any clean up! We use crock pot liners and who ever invented those are GENIUS!
I usually find myself lost in the Pinterest world looking up new recipes and desserts and stuff and came across crock pot freezer meals! These were really easy to make and didn't take a lot of time. The first night we made the Chicken Tortilla soup which was delicious! Our second crock pot dinner was the Pineapple and Ham over rice. I substituted chicken because I had some leftover from the other meals and this one was really yummy too. I added a little terriyaki sauce and that gave it some more flavor.

Last night we had made chili mac for dinner and I used this recipe. I didn't have any tomato sauce so I'm not sure of that would make it better, but even without the sauce it was great. As I was making it, my boyfriend started to turn on the oven and I asked what for. He's like, "Don't you bake it?" Nope!! You don't even bake it! It's soooo easy! I was looking forward to having leftovers today, but sadly they were eaten. :( I can't wait to make this dish again.

A mental goal I have made is to make at least 1 meal a month that I normally wouldn't try. Hopefully I'll keep up with it and expand my taste buds to more than just what's easy to cook.

What are some of your favorite dishes to make?
